The scene was shot on the
8500 block 11th Street, in Downey.
That's between Birchdale Ave (on the east) and Brookshire Ave (on the west),
just south of Florence Ave.

Debra is driving east
on the street. Anton's car is parked on the north side.

They probably opted for that
particular street because it has a number of palm trees on it, and fact
that most of the road is uncurbed (which is unusual for Southern California)
gives it a somewhat rural look. (The city has since curbed the street.)

Despite the natural palm
trees, they added a cluster of smaller palms to the foreground, to make
it look even more tropical.

The city of Downey is located
about 9 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles, and about 13 miles north/northeast
of their usual stomping ground of Long Beach. The city is in a triangle
formed by the Long Beach (710) freeway (on the west), the Century (105) freeway
(on the south), and the 605 freeway to the east.

( A historical footnote: The
nearby McDonald's, just
east of this location, at the southwest corner of Florence Ave &
Lakewood Blvd, is the oldest surviving McDonald's in the world, built
in 1953 by the original McDonald brothers, before Ray Kroc bought
the chain. There's no drive-thru, just walk-up, and they've added a small
museum of sorts next to it. The address is 10207 Lakewood
Blvd., Downey, CA. )

I
shot these photos in November 2010.

The tall house
with green shutters that you see on
the right side of the photo above is at 8500 11th
St.

The house with the
red tile roof that Debra passes on the way in
(seen in the photo above) is at 8529 11th Street.
